Update from Jill via Facebook:

ISAF Worlds update. First for the good news. Pictures can be found on Team K2 Facebook page.

Katie and Keenan were found alive and well...no thanks to the Regatta safety boats. It took an hour of reporting them being missing before anything was done. And by that time they had been found. Fortunately a 49r coach found Katie out of sight from Keenan and the boat after floating for about 15 minutes. We are hoping some safety issues are addressed tomorrow.

Catherine is on one piece after being checked for a head injury from a violent pitch pole.

The bad new is, none of the US teams qualified the US in the multihull class. It was pretty much one disaster after another but all involved gave it their all. It is time to regroup, make some adjustments and move forward.

Most of the bad stuff you have read has had some or all truth to it. Some a little embellished. The weather has certainly not been good to this event.

The competition is fierce. The Brits, French, Italians and more all have it well together with high level federation support as well as sponsors to provide a lot of team benefits. The US federation is doing a much better job than ever before, but it just does not compare to the top countries in depth but they are trying. It is tough. Many of the international teams sail full time and that is their job.

Of the three teams we have here, we need to look at their combinations. Weight is a big issue as we find ourselves sailing against teams that are running 285-295. Currently our only team in the weight game is Keenan and Katie.

The good news is, we know where we can improve and will strive to continue to do so.

We were hooked up here with a good living situation, on the water support and general running around....although privately funded. It is pretty hard for any team to do an event like this on their own. You need a built in network to cater to your needs. This time it was Sully and Me...Jill.

Traveling to different countries for events sounds glamorous but it is work and lots of it. We have been to the airport 11 times and have not started the return trips. The grocery store 5 times and other than occasionally taking a wrong turn, the boat park.

Our day starts early and ends late. We do this because we love it and like anything else, it does have its rewards. You get to meet and work with the best sailors and coaches in the world....and you get to be the best you can be.

Tomorrow splits the fleet to gold and silver. Non of the multihull Americans made the gold fleet but we will try to go out with a bang!
